About this Workshop

No garden? Learn how to work with the patio or balcony space you’ve got to grow veggies and herbs right outside your door. This beginner-friendly workshop will cover the basics of container gardening including: materials (containers, soil, and supplements), planning your container garden (what to grow, when, in which containers), caring for your container garden (moisture, soil, & fertility management).
